Pinkbike And Crankworx Team Up Again For The Ultimate MTB Trifecta

Mar 10, 2015 at 0:40

by Julian Coffey

Pinkbike.com, the world's most trafficked online MTB news and media source, and Crankworx are pleased to once again partner to produce the very best coverage of the Crankworx World Tour. Pinkbike will bring its unprecedented brand of media production to the Crankworx World Tour: Rotorua, Les Deux Alpes and Whistler.

Since 2004, Crankworx has successfully distilled mountain bike culture into a potent cocktail with something for everyone. From adrenaline junkies to new arrivals to the sport, attendees and viewers online are guaranteed to be treated to the best entertainment any two wheeled dirt enthusiast could ask for. As the official Crankworx online media sponsor, Pinkbike has and will continue to play a key role in delivering that entertainment to the world.

Jared was dominant on the final stage. He came in a good way off the lead and dimolished everbody.After a tough morning with a blown fork it s solid testament of why you should never give up.

Pinkbike has evolved alongside the Crankworx World Tour, and the partnership has seen both contribute significantly to the growth of the MTB gravity fed set. The progress our sport sees every year is always beyond our expectations. It's been an amazing ride so far and every year the output that comes from this partnership just gets better - I can't wait to see what will happen next. - Julian Coffey, Publisher, Pinkbike

We've worked closely with Pinkbike for 7 years now and they've been a big part of the growth of Crankworx. We're kind of like two neighbourhood kids that have grown up together and continue to work together to share in each other's success. - Darren Kinnaird, Crankworx GM

As always, Pinkbike coverage will consist of competition and race footage including the EWS, daily recaps, athletes and the latest product highlights. As always Brett Tippie will be on hand to deliver the goods, and with him comes the obligatory full frontal microphone assault known as Just The Tip. Pinkbike, together with Crankworx event partners will once again pull out all the stops to make sure the content is second to none.

Final results for pro woman Jill Kintner 1st Anneke Beerten 2nd and Tracey Hannah 3rd .

One of the big changes this year sees the ladies receiving equal prize money. Prize money for athletes who make it onto the podium at all Crankworx festivals will be the same for men and women in 2015.

Two amazing photographers making Pinkbike a better place. Margus Riga and Sterling Lorence.

Guess that means we're a few years from a women's slopestyle then.

So is whip offs going to open to anyone this year like the first 2, like a fun jam format again. Or is there going to be some bs qualifyer again that you have to pay to get into and then get dropped because you dont have a sponsor.

Additional suggestion... Do whatever you need to do to get Lord Warner on hecklers rock. With a microphone. And a camera.

Rage2002 (Mar 11, 2015 at 2:56)

Agreed

Tear down the sexist classifications. Men and women should compete vs one another. Perfect example is women are now competing vs men in U.S. army ranger school.

kabanosipyvo (Mar 10, 2015 at 14:47)

Ranger School is not a competition. It is a test of whether a Soldier can learn advanced small unit tactics and lead under extended grueling conditions. So far only five women (out of about sixty who volunteered) have earned a spot (passed all of the qualification requirements) for April's starting class.

bike4christ (Mar 10, 2015 at 15:28)

jrocksdh, for someone that has "DH" in their screen name, you must not follow racing much. Otherwise you'd never have made that comment knowing the average time gaps for men vs women depending on the race can range anywhere from 12-15 seconds up to 50+ seconds or more.

As a dad of a special forces son and vet myself, I'm still not sold on combined units based on what my son has told me.

makes no sense, take one away it should make the event worse, not weird.
